How Does Foreign Direct Investment Affect Economic Growth
We test the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth in a cross-country regression framework, utilizing data on FDI flows from industrial countries to 69 developing countries over the last two decades. Our results suggest that FDI is an important vehicle for the transfer of technology, contributing relatively more to growth than domestic investment. However, the higher productivity of FDI holds only when the host country has a minimum threshold stock of human capital. In addition, FDI has the effect of increasing total investment in the economy more than one for one, which suggests the predominance of complementarity effects with domestic firms.
The Making of Modern Colombia
Colombia's status as the fourth largest nation in Latin America and third most populous—as well as its largest exporter of such disparate commodities as emeralds, books, processed cocaine, and cut flowers—makes this, the first history of Colombia written in English, a much-needed book. It tells the remarkable story of a country that has consistently defied modern Latin American stereotypes—a country where military dictators are virtually unknown, where the political left is congenitally weak, and where urbanization and industrialization have spawned no lasting populist movement. There is more to Colombia than the drug trafficking and violence that have recently gripped the world's atte...
La repressió franquista a la Ribera d'Ebre (1938-1945)
En aquest llibre, l'autor, amb un criteri imparcial, tracta d'introduir-se en el context dels represaliats de la comarca en temps del franquisme; la qual cosa, per motius diversos, fins avui no havia estat possible. La consulta dels expedients li ha donat una visió més realista dels fets, que sovint eren distorsionats. La tasca d'investigació ha estat lenta i feixuga; els entrebancs per accedir a les fonts documentals sembla que a poc a poc se superen. Les diverses acusacions que sofriren els encausats han estat el fil conductor dels guanyadors, que, moltes vegades, sense escoltar les opinions dels "perdedors", els jutjaren i, en els casos extrems, els condemnaren a la pena capital. És molt difícil dir qui tenia raó. L'autor afirma que de cada encausat en concret es podria portar a terme un extens treball. Esperem que el temps, que tot ho cura, posi cada situació al lloc que li pertoca.

The Political Economy of Non-Territorial Exit
Territorial political organisation forms the backbone of western liberal democracies. However, political economists are increasingly aware of how this form of government neglects the preferences of citizens, resulting in dramatic conflicts. The Political Economy of Non-Territorial Exit explores the theoretical possibility of ‘unbundling’ government functions and decentralising territorial governance.
